What is milgaus?

The Milgauss is a line of wristwatches manufactured by Rolex. It was first introduced in 1956 as a watch for scientists and engineers working in environments with high levels of magnetic fields. The name Milgauss is a combination of 'mille', meaning thousand, and 'gauss', a unit of measurement for magnetic fields. The Milgauss was discontinued in the late 1980s but reintroduced in 2007 with an updated design. The current model features a 40mm case and is available in a variety of colors and materials, including stainless steel and white gold. The watch is also equipped with Rolex's patented ferromagnetic alloy, making it resistant to magnetic fields of up to 1,000 gauss. Overall, the Milgauss is a popular choice among Rolex collectors and enthusiasts due to its unique history and functionality.
